Hi. I’m in the UK and believe I have a connection to the Beothuk people. How can I watch this please?

Often throughout my life I have heard mention of the Beothuk people made extinct by the presence and actions of the Europeans. The two hour documentary was very enlightening. It is still sad how the Beothuk people were (and still are) treated but it is a wonderful and satisfying feeling that they are not extinct but exist in the generations living now who carry their DNA.

I was born at Newfoundland. Chris Aylward is a fine man. Mr. Aylward with cameraman, Mario, visited our lodge on the Sissiboo at Nova Scotia 2012 & filmed my late my wife, Ardy Born With 3 Thumbs & her mother, Ivy Toney, daughter of Joe Toney & granddaughter of Santu of Newfoundland. My Tribal wife stem from long line of Algonquian women who DNA scientists have proven stem Demasduit, Mary March, Beothuk, ancient ones of the MicMac; as recorded by Anthropologist, Dr. Frank Speck in a publication on American Aborigines over century earlier. Chris Aylward has contributed entire lifework in recognition of original inhabitants of Newfoundland, the Beothuk. I feel great honor to have shared meal & sang songs with Mr. Aylward & his cameraman friend Mario of Etobicoke, Ontario in their recording of historical evidence of Red Indians with exact mtDNA match to Demasduit, Haplogroup “C1c”, of the oldest people in the world, the Algonquian Red Indian. My late wife, Ardy, was born under Reign of King George VI & passed in my arms on 20/02/17 at Nova Scotia & is survived by 2 daughters & 4 granddaughters who all have exact mtDNA match to Demasduit. True wealth is not measured in silver & gold.

I will be watching this “emotional” film with an open mind, but with skepticism as well. It will take strong evidence to convince me that “for the first time in Canadian documentary history, the Beothuk people speak for themselves”. That’s quite a statement for anyone to make!

A very interesting story that clanmother Ardy told me many times over the years! She was extremely proud of her heritage and lived it daily. A true warrior for the people!!! I just wished she was living to see the finish product. We love you and miss you terribly! Kepmite’ lmulek! Ksalutes lapjiw! Ap nemultes!

Driving through Blaketown on the Baccalieu Trail there is a sign ” Beothuk Lookout ” often wondered the story behind it?

Just wondering why Burgeo is not listed on the map, as we all know there was a burial site believed to be Beothuk in Burgeo area on the island of Rencounter ,as well as Burgeo do have an aboriginal background thats well documented . regarding the bones and other items found in the small cave in that area it is in ST John’s and I do believe it should be a part of Burgeo’s past and in Burgeo and not St John’s
